Hobbying close to home presents some risk as we all know. I am curious if any hobbyist or provider has experienced the dreaded situation where the other party turned out to be a known person from civilian life. Not interested in knowing who that individual was, but how did you handle it?

I once saw my friends father. I did not find out until  months later. He was married. To this day my friend still doesn't know.  

It is really not such a big deal.  Just be polite and civil to each other

There are some ppl I HOPE I accidentally run into, ahhaha. Then they're trapped with me for a couple hours. MUAHAHHAAHA

I saw a provider who lives only 7/10's of a mile from my house.. saw her 4 times so far.. I asked what I should do if/when I ran into her .. she said "say hello".. no big deal..

once I knew going into the session that I knew who she was, and she was the one surprised when I called her by her "real" name. She was a high school friend of a provider I had dated and we had met once socially, and I had always wanted to fuck her. The wait was well worth it, once she got over the surprise we had a great session

The other took both of us by surprise, she was also a friend of a different provider that I had dated for quite some time, I became rather good friends with many of my GF's friends, but of course while we were dating out of respect, I would never fuck any of her friends. AAR This girl went indy and changed her name, so I had no idea that she was one of my exes friends, we were both a bit surprised, and i asked her if she felt uncomfortable seeing me professionally, She simply asked me if the two of us were still seeing one another, and when I replied no she immediately started sucking my dick, so I guess I got the answer I wanted. lol

There certainly aren't any around this place. lol

I once spent time with a local lady in CA,  saw her 3-4 times,, before I found out her mother was a customer of mine.  Kept mum about this and saw her a few more times, before she retired.  Never became an issue.  Remember exercise discretion, and never kiss and tell!
